All monies raised for our first Twinkle Tuesday will help bring joy to some lucky members in the community by surprising them with a free car wash. Every $9 raised on December 5th, will be turned into a car wash code from Sheetz, which will then be handed out to random members of our community.
Join us in helping to brighten spirits AND cars!
The After School Care Enrollment link is now available for November 28 - December 1, 2023.
https://forms.gle/J9sBVStwTSsQgCPG6
If you are planning to have your child utilize the After School Care Program during this time, we ask that you register them using this link by 12:00 p.m. on Friday, November 24.
As a reminder, you only need to complete the form if your child(ren) will be attending After School on at least one of these days. Thank you!
Anticipated Milk Carton Shortage
In the coming weeks, the supply of 8 ounce cartons to package milk is predicted to be in short supply due to national supply chain issues. Milk itself remains plentiful and we do not expect any issues as far as having the supply for our lunches. We may just need to adjust our method of distribution if the carton shortage affects our supplier, e.g., children will receive plastic cups that we fill from gallon jugs rather than cartons.
We will keep families updated as we receive additional information. Please rest assured that your child(ren) will continue to receive milk with daily lunches.
Please contact Mrs. St. Amant with any questions.
Thank you.

Coat Drive for Ukraine
A local church is having a “winter coat” drive to help the people of Ukraine. If you have a new winter coat, or one in good condition that you’d like to donate, please leave it in the tub in the vestibule of our church. The shipment leaves the first of December so we need your donation by November 30th at the latest. If you have no coat to donate but would like to help with the shipping fee, you may make your check payable to “Salvation Baptist Church” and drop the check off in our rectory office
